Does anybody else find this video a bit questionable?  Everything seems
just a bit too perfect: the sound is great and the instrument looks
good, except that we don't get to see much of the working parts.  Also,
when the artist is playing, we don't see any of the required pumping
with the right leg going on as we are led to expect, and the video is
shot from an angle that does not show his feet.
